Impact of China's Large-Scale Ecological Restoration Program on the Environment and Society in Arid and Semiarid Areas of China: Achievements, Problems, Synthesis, and Applications (2011, background): “…that uses species that are not native to the ecosystem, alters biodiversity; if this alteration disrupts the delicate balance of the original ecosystem, stability is lost, and the ecosystem may degrade or transition to another, potentially undesirable state (Groombridge and Jenkins, 2003).”
The Canaries: an important biogeographical meeting place (2008, background): “Most of the papers herein derive from key-note presentations, but one derives from a poster presentation, one from a presentation during a panel discussion on the theme ‘Biogeography in the public eye’, and finally we have included a specially commissioned Commentary (Mackey, 2008) focusing on the c”
Updated estimates of biotic diversity and endemism for Madagascar (2005, background): “Based on almost unparalleled levels of endemism, species diversity, and human threat, Madagascar is among the most critical global priorities for conservation action, and has been designated one of the world’s most important biodiversity hotspots (Myers et al., 2000; Groombridge & Jenkins, 2002).”

Leaf, stem and root tissue strategies across 758 Neotropical tree species (2012, background): “Here we investigate how root structural traits coordinate with leaf and stem traits in Amazonian forests that harbour the world’s highest species diversity (Groombridge & Jen- kins 2002).”
Setting Conservation Priorities (2009, background): “A plethora of impacts are causing a mass extinction event (Lawton and May 1995), including habitat destruction and fragmentation, overexploitation of natural resources, invasive species, global climate change, and emerging diseases (Groombridge and Jenkins 2002).”

Climate warming and the decline of amphibians and reptiles in Europe (2006, background): “This resilience is illustrated by excesses in observed numbers of reptile families occurring in northern Africa over the numbers of amphibian families (based on unpublished maps from Groombridge & Jenkins, 2002).”
